Zen Salt Lamp Review

Otis Stephens states in his Zen Salt Lamp review that the picture looks a lot better than the actual product.

Randolph Russell review reveals that the Zen Salt Lamp is a total waste of money. It took him a while to realize that it was melting/leaking. He says that he found liquid dripping down his bedside table and onto the floor. He further adds that it must be dangerous since it is connected to a power cord.

Jeffery Cross in his Zen Salt Lamp complains that he is very disappointed with the Zen Salt Lamp. He says that only a small portion of the lamp lights up, the rest stays dark.

Lauren West mentions in her review” The Zen Salt Lamp works okay but the dimmer stopped working and the bulb blew out soon after using it”.

Robin Burton who bought the Zen Salt Lamp says that the rough cut lamps have a center of gravity that is not centered on the stand. This he says creates a serious tipping hazard, and the lamp weighs over 10 pounds. It has to be positioned so that it is not able to fall over an edge, end table, desk, etc. He further adds that the Zen Salt Lamp can easily kill a small child who bumps a table, knocking the lamp off whatever it’s sitting on. There is no hazard warning like there is on TV’s, dressers for children’s rooms, etc. “If you have small children buy the circular globe version as it doesn’t have the tipping danger” he states.

Carla Webb says in her review that she actually liked the Zen Salt Lamp because it helped to dry her sinuses. However, she says, after 40 days, the 25w candelabra light bulb pooped very loudly and the tabs of the bulb holder that hold the light in the base melted and/or turned into tiny pieces.

Alan Frank in his Zen Salt Lamp review complains that the Zen Salt Lamp produces some sort of sticky clear liquid with salt in it under the base.

Bryan Clayton who bought the Zen Salt Lamp says that he turned it on in the living room and the lamp worked well. When he decided to move it to the bedroom and plugged it in, the bulb burnt out. He replaced the bulb and then the switch did not turn off or dim.

Neil Erickson who tried the Zen Salt Lamp says “It is very nice, but it is not helping against my allergies. Also, it very slowly melts away. You have to put it on a plate or something else”.

Cora Riley in her review states the Zen Salt Lamp is a night light if nothing else. It has no other effects.

Warren Terry in his review complains that “The whole lamp did not light up and was very off center. Zen Salt Lamp is not good quality at all”.

Travis Rhodes is very disappointed with the quality control of the Zen Salt Lamp. He adds “I have been waiting for over a year to order one and the photo looked gorgeous. Unfortunately, mine has a big black blob at the top and it very detracting from the appearance – so much so that I won’t use it. There are also large areas that are white, instead of peach, when illuminated, but they don’t bother me as much as the large blob”.

Another user Delores Ramirez adds that the Zen Salt Lamp is terrible. She also says that the stone was damaged and the dimmer switch didn’t work.

Tommy Morris in his review adds that the Zen Salt Lamp is a beautiful lamp, but the wiring is faulty so had to order a new wiring system.
